accompanying drawing, wherein:

Figure 1 is elevational View .of a hair waver-constructed in accordaneewith my invention, v y a Figure2 is a similar view of the hair waverlooking at the opposite side thereof,

"Figure 3 is a perspective view of the hair waver, and l 1 l Figure4 isa view in end elevation of the hair waver. 1

Corresponding and like parts are referred to in the followingdescription, and desig nated in the several, views of the accompanyingdrawing, by similar reference characters.

The hair waver is preferably made of light sheet metal suitably treatedto prevent corrosion thereof. It comprises a central portion or bar 1,terminal arms 2 extending from one longitudinal edge of the bar, anintermediate arm 3 extending from said edge of the bar, and arms 4extending from the other longitudinal edge of the bar. The arm 3 islocated centrally between the arms 2, and the arms 4 are spaced apartfor a distance equal to the width of the ar'mi3. The arms 2, 3 and 4 areperforated as shown at 5 to permit airto circulate freely there--through. The bar 1 is olfsetas at 6 to position the arms 2 in spacedparallelrelation to the arms 3 and 4. The arm 3 is provided with a hook7 and the arms 4 with hooks 8.

Thehooks 7 and 8 are resilient and of less I width than and formedintegrally with the arms3 and 4, and located at that side of the bar 1beyond which the offset portions 6v ex tend. The hooks 7 and '8 are ofsubstantially U-form and their open ends are located at the outer edgesof the arms 3 and 4. The inner members of thehooks 7 and 8 are locatedin the plane of the arms 2, and the free ends.

Application for reissue Seria111'o.274,082v a ofzthe outer members of the hooks project beyond the outer edges ofthe arms 3'and 4 to facilitate theinsertion of the hair into the hooks.Clasps 10 made of wire treated to prevent their corrosion andof'substan- .t-ially U-form, have their terminals looped as shown at 11to engage slots 12 and openings 13 in the arms 2 whereby to pivotallyconnect the clasps to saidarms. The clasps- 10 extend along those sidesof the arms 2 come spon'dingto the sides of the arms?) and ,4 op positewhich the hooks ,7 and- 8 are located;

' and extend beyond the o'ut'eredges ofthe arms v2 and. have. theirextended portions curved as I shown. Said edges of the arms 2 are pro?vided with shoul'deredretaining lugs 14 with which the claspsare'releasably engaged to hold them in hair retaining; position. Thealugs 14 have an angular'relation to the arms 2 and extend from said armsangularly in a direction opposite to theangular extension;

of the free ends of the clasps 10 with respect to said arms, whereby topermit the clasps to be readily engaged with or disengaged from thelugs.

In practice, several of the devices are used inmaking Marcel waves inthehair of a single person. The hair is moistened and thereafter locksthereof are twisted about the rod '1- and arms 2, 3 and 4 andengagedwith the hooks 7 and Sin the manner suggested in Figures 1 and 2. Theclasps 10 are thence swung waves of substantial permanence have beenmade in the hair. Due to the openings 5 and the arms 2, 3 and 4, thoseportions ofthe locks f of hair in contactwith the arms will rapidly intoengagement with the lugs 14 and those dry. The device may be made indifferent sizes, that is -it may be made of any desired length andwidth, thelonger the device the greater thenumber of arms Sand 4 andhooks 7 and 8 it will be'provided with. 1 .7

It should be understoodthat the drawing is merely illustrative and does'not pretend to give exact proportions. @Furthermore, the said drawing isillustrative of a preferred construction, it being myexpectationthat va--rious changes and modifications'may be made without departing from thespirit and scope of my mven tiony v a v Having described my inventionwhat is claimedas new is:
